No problem with them at all, the fact is all of those things are/were in the news-whether they are/were true or not. I was just listing them to give context for my opinion.
This Obama thing is in the news, true or not, and the acceptance of the $100,000 lie detector challenge is news IMHO. I agree with others that more links that are simply to the YouTube posting are not needed. Pretending this story does not exist however would be a bad idea, especially since it could be the clinton machine behind it.
If this guy takes and passes the lie detector test, then it is newsworthy. If that doesn’t happen, then there is no point repeating an unsubstantiated rumor.
The $100,000 was offered by whitehouse.com. Are you familiar with the site? It’s blocked at Free Republic. Check it out if you want to know why.
